Welcome to the fastest leveling guide in Diablo 4 Season 4. If you want to level up as quickly as possible, this is for you. After extensive testing on PTR, I have found a new strategy that beats out the original "Dopamine Tunnel" method. This guide will show and explain how you can do it yourself.

 

• The Old vs The New: Comparison
• HellTide Method Advantage
• Maximizing HellTide Rewards via Strategy
• Conclusion

 

↖ The Old vs The New: Comparison

The old way was simply running a dungeon over and over again while killing normal mobs. This got players to level 25 in about 58 minutes but has now been completely dismantled by our new approach. Our Helltide method shaves off around 17 and a half minutes with just under 41 minutes (40:30) run time.

 

↖ HellTide Method Advantage

HellTide, now available at World Tier 1-2, has had various vampire elements and traps added alongside numerous events to replace the older ones, which were very repetitive.

• More Eventful & Engaging Gameplay: So many events will be going on around you that it's nearly impossible to get bored.
• Better Experience Gains: Simple enough, more XP then running dungeons normally.
• Higher Quality Loot: Get better loot overall from chests, etc.… as well as potentially get lucky with random drops that could boost your power ahead of time.
• Unique Drops: Some rare drops you may come across during these events can actually help deal with tough bosses down the line if used correctly.

 

↖ Maximizing HellTide Rewards via Strategy

These are just some tips on what you should be looking for when doing your runs so you can get the most out of them:

• Save Your Cinders: Collect them during HellTide events, and, at the end, use them to increase your XP based on your current level.
• Grim Favors: These will be gained through completing events. Use them at the Tree of Whispers to exchange them for d4 gold and XP.

 

↖ Conclusion

With these new changes, not only is speed increased, but the whole process is more enjoyable. Good luck, and I hope this helps you level up fast! Keep an eye out for any weird loot that may drop, and it could be your secret weapon against a really tough boss later on. Embrace this method and prepare yourself for all the bounties Diablo 4 has to offer. Happy levelling!
